Forex Secret - Forex Fundamental Analysis Authority In FX Rates Movement

The chapter’s abstract: a trader attains much greater success at FOREX unless he is reading analytics by non-trading economists. Here’s some information for meditation below:

What useful can one be taught by FOREX reviews, cooked up by analytical economists, who are incapable of teaching themselves to be FOREX successful?

FOREX economic indicators (released news statistics) are compiled the way required to be interpreted by analysts, who, by the end of the day, may explain any rates travel as the only naturally determined one.

Important objective economic indicators (GDP, Balance of payments, etc.) are leveled up with the subjective ones (University of Michigan, Chicago sentiment, etc.) which in no way may be checked up.

Economic statistics is frequently forged even at the supreme level.
Here is my attitude as a trader towards FOREX fundamental analysis and to its impact upon exchange rates dynamics.

At the outset, we’ll get to scrutinize the gambling done by FOREX analytical economists, who are striving to convince traders in exchange rates being tied up to some ersatz fundamental analysis data, viz. to economic indicators being released under daily streaming news.

We will also present technique background used by the banks’ Consortium to manipulate news and forecasts the way to vector the rates as any certain day requisite.

The earlier example dated April, 01, 2005 (when the trend has reversed against the logics of all the news released that day). The situation is an absolutely typical occurrence at FOREX, where in 50% cases rates are going DOWN the news vector while in 50% cases – AGAINST the news released. Any analysts’ venture to far-fetch the fundamental analysis to FOREX rate quotes has long caused me nothing but smile.

The FOREX analysts’ logics is as follows: as soon as the rates reverse against the news, next day they have the explanation that nothing unexpected has occurred with the market having already been anticipating the news, and these news have already been accounted for by traders in current quotes.

Or, else, the market (or traders or other) spotted in the news release not at all what it has read earlier in the streaming news. As a result, the rates by, normal logics, staged a sharp swivel to move in sort of a wrong direction.

But, my God, are traders really in need of the above analysts’ para-economic freaks on fundamental or other analysis, once THE RATES HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR WAY in the said wrong direction?

And why, during uptrend, no analyst has recommended going short on a currency instead of going long in case actual news is superior to the estimate? I have never come across the case.

Analysts should have better derived a simple mathematical formula (hopefully they did have studied at universities) as to a FOREX pair average points travel prior and post critical news (National Bank percent rate hike, Balance of payments, etc.).

By virtue of this formula we, traders, could do some calculations to estimate whether either everything is already accounted for in the current rates or further 100-200 pts grow/decline is to be expected.

But there’s nothing of the kind!

And now, here’s my standpoint as a FOREX trader on why traders will never end up by being supplied with the above mathematical prognosis formula by analysts. I will also provide backgrounds of when pro-news and counter-news entries should be effected.

Fundamental Analysis CRITERIA BIASED INOBJECTIVE NATURE. Fundamental Analysis BEING ABANDONED IN FAVOR OF DAILY NEWS SUBSTITUTE.

1. All the Fundamental Analysis economic indicators are made a muddle of. See, for instance, 54 US economic indicators, ABC-arranged by analysts instead of being USD importance-rated http://www.forexite.com/forex_for_ beginners/us_economic_indicators.html

2. No difference is made between Fundamental Analysis, the state monetary policy and ersatz fundamental data-related current news (viz.: Chicago business activity index, Michigan University consumer sentiment index, National Managers’ Association business activity index, etc.). But, in what way is the Michigan University consumer sentiment index relevant to the US economy Fundamental Analysis? Is there any other name to be applied to this index besides the name of an ersatz Fundamental Analysis?

3. A portion of economic indicators organic to the above ersatz Fundamental Analysis evoke my personal uncertainty as regards their figures’ objective nature and as regards not being tailored to order of those supplying quotations to the FOREX market.

Let us go attentively once again look into these indices with the view to clarify their manipulation capability with no exposition danger.

- PHILADELPHIA FED INDEX constitutes the polling results of Philadelphia manufacturers as to their sentiment towards the current economic situation:

- Why Philadelphia, not California or Texas.

- May there be any difference in obtained figures depending upon the type of manufacturers being interrogated?

- Is there anyone in position to verify and confirm the above manufacturers’ polling results?

- Consumer price index (CPI), reflects consumer price level per a “basket” of goods and services. But the CPI may be properly built up, if prices differ supermarket to supermarket, from supermarket to conventional shop, from shop in the center and shop in an outskirt, from shop in a capital to shop in a province, from sell off period to new articles presentation period, etc.?

Is it imaginable, how figures can be manipulated in favor of those, requiring them so badly? Or is there anyone to convince me that it’s very hard to change 0.4% into 0.2% or 0.6% depending upon a customer’s demand at any given moment?

- Michigan consumer sentiment index constitutes the results of customers’ polling on current economic situation confidence. No comments, since it looks like interrogating no-one-knows whom on a no-one-knows subject.

- Consumer confidence. A doubtful attempt to measure consumers’ optimism.

-NAPM (National Association of Purchasing Managers) services index is representative of service managers polling results, purported at estimation of in-branch changes taking shape. Very often this index is dictated rather by psychological factors, than by actual state of affairs (???).

- Chicago PMI index. It is closely tracked due to being released shortly prior to NAPM. The index exerts strong authority over the market by prompting a real NAPM value to be released. Please, refer to NAPM above.

- Atlanta Fed index presents polling results of Atlanta industrials on current economic situation (???).

As understandable, the list of these ersatz Fundamental Analysis economic indicators may go on along with buildup of questions and doubts.

4. There’s a so-called factor of anonymous economists’ estimates in relation to economic indicators preceding values.

I wonder WHO are these anonymous economists, each time allegedly interviewed by Dow Jones on their expectations from news to be released the following calendar week? And WHY is THEIR opinion exactly presented to be the whole market’s anticipation of THAT data exactly, but not any other? Below are some sample potential manipulating the world traders’ opinion, frequently encountered by myself:

a frankly superior estimate leading to benign actual data being inferior to the prediction (I repeat, a no-one-knows whose prediction) and resulting in a sharp rates reversal by “disappointed” traders as later on indicated by analysts.
a frankly inferior estimate leading to malignant actual data being superior to the prediction, thus pushing the rates forward with no other market’s objective grounds.
TO SUM IT UP, leveled with objective economic indicators (GP, etc.) are ersatz Fundamental Analysis ones, manipulation by virtue whereof creates simulacrum of the rates being tied up to daily news and the state’s Fundamental Analysis. With prediction manipulation capability added hereto, it turns feasible to faultlessly project traders’ activities throughout the world. But is it accidental or not that worldwide traders’ training programs are as similar as 90-95% losers figures?

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS CLASSICAL MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS

A true Fundamental Analysis, based on leading world economies comparative macroeconomic characteristics as well as on their currencies power/weakness, may be experienced not through indices of universities and various US managers’ associations, BUT through economic indicators, recognized by all the world leading economists. These are:

- GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), the principle national economy condition reflector. According to economy development Keynesian model, GDP=C+ I + S + E – M, where: C is consumption, I is investments, S is state expenditures, E is exports, M is imports. GDP is expressed on terms of an index in relation to a previous period.

- STATE BUDGET, constituting a correlation between state’s incomes and expenditures.

- BALANCE OF PAYMENTS, correlating the country’s incoming and outgoing payments and falling into three major components: trade balance, balance of services and non-commercial payments (invisible transactions balance) and balance of capitals and creditors flow.

- UNEMPLOYMENT RATE in the country, being a 3D structure of:

frictional unemployment, related to higher remuneration job hunting or expectation after layoff (not a negative factor, since it leads to more rational labor resources allocation);
structural unemployment, emerging from labor demand decline in any industrial branch due, for instance, to technological development or change on consumer demand structure;
cyclic unemployment, arising during overall economic recessions.
- MONEY SUPPLY INDICES (M0, M1, M2, M3). M0 = cash circulation; M1 = M0 + cheque deposits; M2 = M1 + cheque less saving accounts + money market deposit accounts + minor deposits (less than USD100K) + money market mutual funds; M3 = M2 + large deposits (in excess of USD100K). These are practically no market influential.

- NON-FARM PAYROLLS.

- GOLD AND CURRENCY RESERVES, being a state’s gold and currency backup stored in central bank and in financial institutions, as well as state’s gold and currency assets with international creditors.

- NATIONAL DEBT, constituting state liabilities to physical persons, legal entities, foreign countries, international institutions and outstanding international law subjects.

- REFINANCING RATE, being percent rate utilized by the central bank in granting credits to commercial banks on a refinancing basis, etc.

MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS MANIPULATION ATTEMP AT FOREX.

Macroeconomic indicators are of objective nature, thus being “uncorrectable”, the way it may be done to various Chicago, Atlanta and Michigan indices.

That is why at FOREX we often come across surprising interpretations of the above objective indicators, recognized by the world’s leading economists.

1. Macroeconomic indicators are leveled with ersatz Fundamental Analysis ones, viz.: the University of Michigan one, as above indicated.

2. Absolutely in objective criteria are selected to estimate macroeconomic indicators. For instance, weekly number of jobless claims is released instead of its monthly fluctuation dynamics analysis per its three aspects (frictional, cyclic and structural). This data s released on Thursdays, 08:30 EST, New-York with a disclaimer that “the figures are not always reflective of the actual situation”. The data is under frequent perversion due to short-term factors such, as federal or local holidays. The question is WHAT IS IT ALL FOR?

3. The macroeconomic indicators role is being undermined in every manner. See below:

State budget exerts but an insignificant authority over the market (?!). Curious to know WHY? Is it that the UMich index is more important in understanding the US economy prospects and its perspective currency rating?

http://www.forexite.com/forex_for_beginners/us_economic_indicators.html

Balance of payments is of limited influence on the market (??).

http://www.forexite.com/forex_for_beginners/us_economic_indicators.html

4. Totally different indicators are being quoted when analyzing the leading economies’. See:

the USA: M1, M2, M3 money supply, whereas M3 only for Germany with no indicator as such for the UK; the UK: PPI output, PPI input with no indicator as such for other countries.
RELATION BETWEEN Fundamental Analysis MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS AND FX RATES

Certainly, the relation between Fundamental Analysis and current FOREX rates does exist, however it is greater in depth and mediation, than presented to traders by the majority of analysts, starting from dealers’ basic training.

In my opinion, this DIRECT relation between Fundamental Analysis and FOREX trending finds manifestation on W1 and MN charts only.

Those, supplying us with FOREX quotes, may be “playing” and “fooling” traders within H1 and even H4. But changing trend at W1 and MN timeframes in favor of the USD and establishing the EUR price, say, cheaper than that of the USD in 2005 means going AGAINST depth fundamental data. Those will never be off to commit sort of a thing.

A currency price and that level of fundamental data are permanently coincident. This is not at all the ersatz Fundamental Analysis, whereto the Consortium has schooled the majority of traders (not the University of Michigan index, not the Chicago Managers Association index, not the last month Consumer Confidence index (?!), etc.), and by virtue whereof the aforesaid traders majority have got completely confused in a seemingly elementary issue of entry in favor of the news and against the news.

Hence, below is the USA and Europe macroeconomic indicator related PRACTICAL CONCLUSION for traders: data as of early summer, 2005 are definitely indicative of the incapacity of the long-term USD downtrend change for its uptrend (W1 and MN charts) within the year relative to the EUR, the GBP and outstanding “allies” (See chapter on “Which FOREX indicator is the most impartial and accurate. Ally and adversary currencies”).

Thus, following each short- or medium-term EUR’s recess, its new growth will be witnessed with earlier historic peaks potential breakthrough. The contrary option of the EUR being cheaper than the USD is a NO-NO, exactly due to fundamental macroeconomic indicators, where under European economies enjoy faster development than the USA.

RELATION BETWEEN ERSATZ Fundamental Analysis AND FOREX QUOTES.

Any ersatz Fundamental Analysis indicator data release (UMich, Chicago indices, etc.) is but the GROUND to urge currencies up-down reciprocation, as a function of tactical objectives of those supplying FOREX quotes.

A PRACTIAL CONCLUSION for traders: I claim no relation between ersatz Fundamental Analysis and FOREX quotes from the intraday trading standpoint.

Upon the above news the banks Consortium may drive the rates in any direction, whereas FOREX analytical economists will snatch on You proving and explaining that there is no unexpected occurrence and that the market with proper advance account has been long anticipating the news released, etc., etc, see aforesaid.

That’s the reason for no analyst to venture to recommend entry against the news prior to its release. NO ONE knows in advance where the rates will travel under the Consortium’s will after the news.

This is the level of technical analysis, not that of Fundamental Analysis.

Being a trader, I observe 3 rules when jobbing on news:

exit all positions prior to the news release; if not – then place pending orders behind resistance and support levels to be a stop-loss “safety cushion” as per B. Williams.
don’t enter upon the first candle after the news release;
enter immediately after the Consortium has definitely indicated the way it interprets the news released (see “Entry and exit manual” on entries and exits under the news released).
IN CONFIRMATION OF MY CONCLUSION ON POTENTIAL CURRENT NEWS AND OTHER STATISTIC DATA FORGERY, I refer to “Dawn of dollar empire and end of “Pax Americana”” by A.B. Kobyakov and M.L. Khazin, (“Veche” publishing house, 2003, 368 pages), see on http://paxamericana.narod.ru/book/paxamericana.zip.

The authors thereof have arrived at conclusions still more aggravating for traders and quoted facts on STATISTICAL DATA FORGERY AT THE LEVEL OF THE USA STATE STATISTICS, see CHAPTER V. STATISTICS AT CURTESY OF ECONOMICS:

“The earlier published data summary maintained, that during seven years from 1995 to 2001 inclusive, the USA boasted positive balance of payments of USD203.2 BN, while the revised data uncovered negative balance of payments of USD89.8 BN (chart 24) within that period. With the account to Q1 2002 the above deficit amounted to USD100 BN already.

EVERYONE IS FREE TO READ IT IN GREATER DETAIL AND TO DRAW UP ONE’S OWN DEDUCTIONS!

A serious Russian “Novaya Gazeta” newspaper (08.09-11.09.2005, in “Writings on the water”, see p. 15) has reiterated on another stock market vivid instance, where for the sake to meet some national (or, probably, SOMEBODY’S) interest, the US governmental circles and information agencies have set on a worldwide advertising of a “greatest modern discovery of nanotechnology: a single-molecule transistor”.

The newspaper quotes: “Prospects were breath-taking. The “fourth wave” subject attained unusual fashion and attraction for investments. Nanotechnologies fell under the US government strictest attention being the issue of strategic importance. Hardly imaginable was the fact that all the sensation would end up in a classic “panama” or a shady enterprise similar to our default. Scientific companies share prices skyrocketed off-scale, whereas 30-yo Jan Hendrik Shone, the main publications author has been thought to be next year’s Noble Prize nominee. It all would have been sliding on smoothly, unless the results of over 100 Shone’s articles turned out to have not obtained confirmation. Tampering has been proved as regards three key reports on single-molecule transistor.

As a result Shone faced being fired along with sharp decline in scientific companies share rates. The companies have been stung for USD100BN approximately, the amount being suspiciously close to the Iraqi war (started only 3 months later) US government expenditures.

An infinite number of similar sample situations may be drawn, with statistics turning into a falsifier.

Hence, the question is natural: what’s the way of a trader using Fundamental Analysis statistics to build up FOREX strategies, provided that at least part of data is forged to someone’s benefit?

I don’t hold it reasonable to go deeper into the issue. A FOREX trader’s gains may not be facilitated by this issue’s deep study.

To get a comprehension of FOREX currencies logics, the simple knowledge is indispensable of WHO, HOW and BY WHAT REASON supplies FOREX quoted to traders. By far we have but only answered WHO are those Internet users to furnish quotes to traders.

Identically, no use sinking into the “BY WHAT REASON” the quotes are supplied at FOREX. Please, attempt yourself to answer by virtue of a counter-question: if You (not the Consortium) have invented a financial result-oriented game with clients – WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE WINNER (the game organizer or clients)?

Hopefully, I have beaten off some green traders’ lust for instant gains at FOREX. You are facing a professionals market and becoming a profi yourself is the only way to earn money at this market.

The underlying chapters are concentrative of the attempt to elucidate the core question: HOW are the FOREX quotes presented, to enable the extra-exchange FOREX market traders to attain steady gains.

Below I will purportedly and repeatedly resort to examples from books by Viktor Suvorov (“Ice-breaker” et al.). Our target at FOREX is a twin sister of V. Suvorov’s one in history: to use official sources (i.e. absolutely verifiable materials) in legal understanding of what is camouflaged by the world’s richest market half-truth and falsehood in Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis methods, in published FOREX literature, in websites analytics and predictions, in actions of dealers making millions USD by means of their client traders’ accounts, etc.

Now, please, find below an intermediate conclusion being the starting point in understanding of currencies quote logics as well as in pinpointing of CORRECT and ERRONEOUS method of operation at FOREX proposed by Bill Williams and other scholars:

A trader is to be aware of one single thing – as different from stock markets, FOREX traders are not opposing each other, but they fight against the almighty FOREX Game Organizer – the world banks Consortium being capable of swiveling any national currency to any direction and at any moment by way of using numerous economic indicators, news releases, whose authenticity is not doomed to ever be verified by anyone.

Thus, how is one to realize, at a trend beginning, but not by its end, WHAT FOR and BY HOW MANY POINTS the Consortium is pushing currency rates?

Bearing the above in mind we will dedicate the following book chapters and the Masterforex-V Academy training to this issue exactly.

Forex Secrets - Delusion No1 - Forex Currency Rate And Economic Factors Impact On Exchange Rate

The delusion conceptually propounds that intraweek and intraday FOREX currency quotes movement is governed by either improvement or by deterioration of the state’s economic situation. But in reality, even in case the actual Forex news is superior to the estimated one, the FOREX quotes up/down movement is of 50/50 probability.

This statement is thoroughly important. Once the job of Forex trader is gambling on FOREX exchange rates differential (FOREX pairs up/down movement), the following is to be realized to obtain faultless profit:

FOREX pairs pricing mechanism (say at point X where you are completing the market analysis)
Factors imparting growth/decline to FOREX rates (up/down from point X).
Thus, having understood the FOREX rates factors effective at the extra-exchange (book-maker) FOREX market and the given currency motive factors, a trader must possess distinct knowledge of whether to buy or to sell the given currency pair.

So, what are these factors?

FOREX student suggest unambiguous interpretation of factors responsible for the price formation and the fluctuations there of:

Forex rate constitutes a demand-supply balance for a given goods (currency).
Any violation of this balance, (for instance, in case where the estimated news is in disagreement with the issued official one), results in the FOREX rates reciprocation in chase of a new demand-supply balance. Poor demand brings about decline in a certain currency rate, with a high demand leading to the growth of the latter. The situation continues as long as the currency buy/sell demand comes to balance at another level or at another point.
Referring to the B. Williams (“Trading Chaos 2” Chapter 1 “The market is what you are thinking of it”):

Each world market is dedicated to distribute or share limited amount of something… among those desirous to obtain it most of all. The market affects it by way of finding out and identifying the exact price? Underlying the buyer’/sellers’ power absolute equilibrium point.

The above point is readily established by stock, futures, bonds, FOREX and options markets, be it either via an open auction or by virtue of a computerized facility. Markets spot this point prior to any misbalance being detectable by you or by me or even by traders at the exchange floor.

With this scenario holding true – and it really does – we are in position to jump at certain simple yet important conclusions as regards the information being circulated through the market and enjoying doubtless acceptance”.

Thomas Demark was more laconic in “Technical analysis - an emerging science”:

“Price movement is governed by demand and supply. Should demand exceed supply, there’s a price rally and if visa versa, there’s a price decline. All economists do share these underlying principles”.

Hence, the role of fundamental analysis for FOREX market is readily apparent.

In scholar fiction one will discover roughly the following explanation, persistently wandering from book to book, from site to site and suggesting attaining successful trading at FOREX market by way of scrutinizing the country’s economic fundamental data, viz. by tracking the factors reflective of the country’s economy condition as below:

State economy condition dynamics indicators (GDP, trade & payments balance, current account, industrial production, etc. It is knowledge, that the higher the above indicators – the faster the economic and the currency price growth);

Stock indices, via average arithmetic index of the country’s securities market condition and dynamics. E.g.: 0.3% daily DJI growth in the USA means that this certain day the shares of 30 leading US companies, being pictured by DJU, went 0.3% more expensive. By similarity, DAX30 is the major German index, incorporating the price of shares of the country’s 30 leading companies.

The country’s interest rate, since the higher the rate, the greater number of investors is eager to invest into the country’s economy and hence into national currency strength.

Rate of inflation (the higher the rate, the quicker the National Bank will hike the interest rate). With this assumption, the CPI constitutes a key factor.

Money supply growth in domestic market, which fact brings about the inflation, leading to the interest rate hike.

The country’s gold and currency reserve assets.

Variation dynamics correlation of: balances of payment, trade balance, state budget, gross domestic product (GDP), etc.

Trade and industry dynamics (industrial production, industrial orders, DGO, capacity utilization, retail sales, etc.)

Construction statistics (construction spending, new home sales, housing under construction, building permits, etc.)

Labor statistics (unemployment rate, new jobs, etc.)
Society investigations (consumer confidence, consumer sentiment, purchase managers and service managers sentiment, etc.)

To be considered additionally are the country’s political stability and tranquility (clearly, any political, natural and other cataclysms are sure to turn investors nervous making them withdraw the investments from the country, thus weakening its national currency). And with the currency being the national economy derivative, changes in economic data will inevitably result in the above currency rate movement.
Conclusions:

Progress in economy results in the currency exchange rate rally.

Decrease in economic indicators leads to the national currency rate decline.
To sum it up, critical economic and political news (whose calendar is issued in advance and is familiar to any trader) constitute a standing factor giving rise to misbalance and causing the currency rate fluctuations.

In anticipation of important economic and political news FOREX pair crawl to the rates as inspired by the estimates (“rumored trade”), whereas upon actual news there occurs a pulse motion of FOREX pairs in accordance with the scheme below;

Forex rate grows if actual news are better than the estimated one;
Forex rate declines if actual news are worse than the estimated one.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THESE ABC BASICS OF STUDYING FOREX?

Do you accept that one can earn money by way of using these basics, known to every trader?

Then why, having absorbed these economic axioms, 90% of Forex traders in the world are losers rather than winners.

Where is the delusion of the above ABC truth, nudging traders towards losses? Let us perform sort of point-by-point analysis.

The currency exchange FOREX market is a book-makers one. It is gambling on rates difference without direct money delivery to the exchange market, except for hedging of traders’ funds by Forex brokers, via buy-sell difference especially during strong trends). Then, www.forexite.com reads: “Trading is performed without actual currencies supply, which fact cuts overheads and enables Forexite to go long and short on the currency” http://www.forexite.com/forexite_advantages/forex_advantages.html.

Comment: Have you ever met any book-makers;

- whose logics was coincident with that of THEIR clients (traders),

- whose stakes were being made in accordance with THEIR technical analysts forecasts, economic laws and common sense?

And what extent of doubt and skepticism should be attached to THEIR free “recommendations”, “advice”, “surveys” and “forecasts”, laid out at THEIR sites through THEIR analysts?

As a regular result, over 90% of the world traders are still loosing their deposits at FOREX each time they follow Thomas Demark stereotype that “All the economists share these underlying principles”.

Comment No.1. In as much as the above underlying principles are 90% contradictory to practice, it gives rise to the following question. Might these “underlying principles, shared by all economists including Thomas Demark” have possibly turned into dogma, alien to life and practice?

Comment No.2. What should a trader lean on: practice or dogma even if supported by great names, provided that the trader is purported at earning money?

FOREX analysts issuing their daily bulky market reviews are not FOREX traders in the overwhelming majority (see detailed discussion below). And on bringing together pairs 1, 2 and 3 there appears certain regularity.

Please, think over A. Elder words, that: “FOREX rates and the fundamental analysis are tied together with a mile-long rope. The fundamental analysis is ultimately decisive. But anything is likely to happen prior to this eventuality”. Another, yet no less renowned trader and analyst, Bill Williams underlines the same mental regularity of an experienced professional trader (level 3 of his trader’s skill rating as per “Trading Chaos 2”): “On attaining level 3 you emerge as a self-provided pro trader. You are always familiar with the market’s basic, usually invisible structure. You no longer need to refer to others’ opinions. You needn’t read “Wall Street Journal”, watch market-oriented TV programs, and subscribe to information bulletins, waste money on information channels”.

Comment: Logically, there is a counter-implication, that if You are eager to become a successful trader, You are to restrict the influence of various surveys and recommendations on yourself even in case they originate from the world famous “Wall Street Journal”, to say nothing of crude gurus in analyst skins who use to know ahead of time where currencies will go.

Forex news is a scheduled issue of fundamental data, which as a rule impairs FOREX rates a sharp pulse of motion. But then, why the currency rates movement vector is only 50% coincident with the ABC truism logics as to where the rate should rush in case of actual news being much better or worse than the estimate. And, please, make an attempt to answer the following question, stirring for every trader: why with the new being worse than expected (say, on US economy), the USD currency would initially fall by 40 pips (news work-off) but in 5 to 10 minutes it would swivel back and would display a 200-point rally, with no account to either the issued news or to common sense.

Below are some examples:

Fig. 1. GBPUSD chart as of April 1, 2005 after the news, positive for the GBP and negative for the US economy.
See Note below

In March the CIPS manufacturing index amounted to 52.0 (with the previous data revised from 51.8 to 51.6). Oil price in NYC has grown by USD 2.40 up to USD57.70 per bbl (new record of the latest 21 years). Non-farm payrolls in the USA was minimum since last July (previous data revised towards lower values). There has been a decline in the Michigan sentiment index to 92.6 (median estimate was 92.9, with 92.9 previously).

All the US indices faced a fall down. DJI at NYSE has fallen by 99.46 pips (-0.95%) towards closing at 10404.30. NASDAQ declined by 14.42 pips (-0.72%) to 1984.81. S&P500 slipped by 7.67 pips (-0.65%) to 1172.92. 30-yr US Bonds yielded 4.729 (0.037 lower as compared to the previous close). By contrary, FTSE100 has grown by 19.60 pips (+0.40%) to 4914.00.

Now, the question is to certified economists: what will happen to the GBPUSD within one day or even several hours upon publication of these data? You are right, USD should not simply fall down, it should collapse. Powerfully, swiftly. Well, well…

And this time, the same question to experienced traders. By FOREX news headlines You might have guessed that the events are taking place at the Friday American session. Correct. Initially, anyway, the GBPUSD chart will go up by 100 pips (news wok-off), followed by a pullback. Then Forex chart starts a new rally.

It is now to be tracked whether the GBP will breach the latest rally high or not. If affirmative, it will rush up by approximately 160 pips (Elliott wave 1 was 100 pips, while EW 3 is 60% longer). But if the high is not breached? The GBP currency quote will in no way come to a standstill, moreover on Friday afternoon. Hence, - down, to the starting point! And, if breached, similar situation takes shape but the counting is performed in a “down” direction (EW1, being the same 100 pips plus 187 pips from 1.8826 to 1.8759 being EW 3).

The FOREX day trading tactics will be given scrutiny in a separate chapter. A still separate chapter will be dedicated to Friday trade at American session due to its inherent specifics and to strong seemingly inappropriate movement. The movement is, of course, appropriate. To say nothing of Friday. But it will be touched upon later.

Now, getting back to the currency chart. As apparent, the GBPUSD pair movement on Friday, April, 01, 2005 is in no way in conjunction with the US economy fundamental data. Each forex trader can provide from tens to hundreds of similar instances, where the news are of a certain vector, whereas, after a fraudulent rush along the news vector, a currency applies reverse thrust.

Thereafter, the next day, in daily currency surveys, certified economists are sure to explain all to us by way of inventing another undisguised nonsense, like: “in spite of certain data, traders decided that the currency has already worked-off this side”. But! How could this occur on Apr, 01, 2005, provided that the currency has been staying flat in a narrow range in the course of the whole of the European session?

Otherwise, another explanation may emerge, that forex traders were expecting still more inferior news on the US economy… But! By how much more inferior, if according to DJ, the US non-farm payrolls MA was equivalent to 180K, with actual being +110K, estimate being +225K and prior being +243K? And in what manner do these economists count up world traders: by capita, by countries or by the funds, lost by those, who continued staying long in a holy belief in renowned academic scholars postulate of FOREX rates being tied up to countries’ economy statistics.

I wonder if I’ll ever chance to witness legal procedures to be instituted against any of those famous scholars, so that no one would dare claim that fundamental data trigger rate spikes.

The same pertains to economists, writing about the way, hundreds of thousands traders throughout the globe have conspired to conclude that it is time to reverse the trends with absolutely no grounds. Is it really feasible?

Such reading-matter is, but hammering a single question into one’s head: is it lie or is it stupidity of those cooking daily reports for taking traders for a ride, fooling them up and keeping them from the truth, which might be of great avail to them in daily trading. Traders are not a decisive factor, thus rates movement is in no way dependent on their will. Practically in no way.

Wanna check? Negotiate with tens of traders of the trading floor and arrange for a simultaneous entry long on some exotic FOREX pair. In so doing, try to push up either the NZDHKD, or the NZDCAD, or the HKDCAD. No need? I think so. You’ll certainly suffer failure with the above, to say nothing of the EUR, GBP, CHF.

Another example:

Fig.2. GBPUSD movement as of May 13, 2005.

See Note below

This is an M15 chart of the American session, where the USD pair has grown by over 100 pips from 1.8583 to 1.8481 against the news, negative for the US economy:

Most indices have dropped down: DJI at NYSE – by 49.36 pips (-0.48%) to close at 10140.12; S&P500 – by 5.31 pips (-0.46%) to 1154.05. NASDAQ has grown by 12.92 pips (+0.66%) to1976.80. 30yr US Bonds yielded 4.484 (0.047 drop from previous close)

There is a fall in Michigan sentiment index. In May UMich was 85.3 with med est 90.0 and prior 87.7. So it was worse than the estimate, reaching the low since March, 2003. The index decline was being observed for the fifth month.

The April US export price index was +0.6% with prior of +0.7%.

Below are other similar examples of that same day.

Fig. 3. EURUSD chart as of May 13, 2005.

See Note below

Hundreds of examples may be offered, where the Forex news vector is opposite to that of the currency movement. Practically, actual news may happen to be superior or inferior to the estimate. FOREX quotes up/down movement is also of 50/50 probability irrespective of the above.

Why does it happen and what is the way for a trader to pinpoint entries and exits? This is going to be discussed in ensuing chapters of this book.
